Hi folks,
there are many ways to skin this particular cat so is there a preferred way of checking whether Betfair is available before attempting to place a bet using the COM interface?
One way could be to handle a timeout on a GetMarket request, but I have found this can timeout for other reasons. Would, say, checking the account balance or some other function be a more suitable alternative? In other words, is there a preferred method to check that Betfair is up?
Thanks for any advice you may have.
